LOL - I can’t resist …

That’s somewhat of a stale topic, I think. You’ll find drinking whereever you go, only the magnitude of the problem (fun for others) is what differs from college to college. It’s your choice if you participate or not!

Regarding Switzerland:
~60% speak ‘Swiss-German’ (not an official language, the written language is German)
~30% speak French
~10% speak Italian
~0.2% (I believe) speak Rumantsch (sort of a mix between Latin, Italian & French)

The ‘Swiss-German’ is basically the German of the medieval age, in Switzerland (and the South of Germany & Austria) the language development sort of ‘stopped’ on that level. But, as I said, it’s NOT an official language.

If you want to learn the language(s) spoken in Switzerland (next to Japanese!), you’re going to be pretty busy … LOL
